New powerbooks support status (again)
Hi!:
A week ago I wrote to the list telling my experience about non-working
stuff with one of the newer pbooks (12", 80GB):
[1]- Sound
[2]- Touchpad
[3]- Cpufreq
[3] Is working for me with the tip suggested by Ben H. (thanks), but
know I've discovered a [4] issue: therm_adt746x.
It's impossible to read any of the entries it creates
under /sys/devices/temperatures, I always get a seg. fault.
After talking in private with Colin Leroy (from therm_adt) and trying
several ways to see what was happening he suggested me to write to the
list and see if any of the powerpc developers here can see what is
happening here.
To add a bit of info, I can say that when I modprobe therm_adt I get
this (this is vanilla linux-2.6.11):
Mar 5 21:02:27 localhost kernel: adt746x: Thermostat bus: 0, address:
0x2e, limit_adjust: 0, fan_speed: -1
Mar 5 21:02:27 localhost kernel: adt746x: Thermostat failed to read
config from bus 0, addr 0x2e: rc=-19
The output is a bit different from plain therm_adt746x because it
includes a small patch provided by Colin to clarify what was happening.
Also I get some stack traces whenever I try to access
i.e. /sys/devices/temperatures/cpu_temperature and the like:

Thats all. Hope this helps to know what is happening here.
